After being apart for the better part of 18 months, I bled the brakes, fired it up, and drove home in 2 LO. (I couldn't figure out the 205 shift rails).

I thought the throttle kick down wasn't adjusted right, but it was just the 2 low thing.

Everything seems to working great. Not a single leak in my brake system. I was pretty amazed.

44's that haven't been driven on the road before tend to be out of round, especially when it's in the 20s.

But it's home and I have a 3 day weekend coming up.

Let the tube bending begin.

Now how to get it under a 7' garage door?

And in case you were saying what about not having a fuel cell, I ratchet strapped a gallon jug to my frame rail. :flipoff2:

I had an extra gallon that was 40-1 mix if I ran out of regular gas. It was about 5 miles, so theoretically I should have run out driving in 2:1. Maybe it gets better gas mileage now with the 5.13s :flipoff2:

Yep 16.5's. I'm going to weld an inside beadlock out of 8-9 gauge wire on after EJS.
